Planets Venus, Jupiter & Mercury: View from Arizona
Astrophotographer David Blanchard: "The planets Mercury, Venus, and Jupiter continue to put on a show during evening twilight, including a reflection of Mercury in the calm waters of the lake."
In astronomy, a conjunction refers to an event where two or more celestial bodies appear to meet or pass each other in the sky. A conjunction is an apparent phenomenon caused by an observer's perspective. However, the two objects involved are not actually close to one another in space.
Arizona is a landlocked state in the Southwestern region of the United States, sharing the Four Corners region of the western United States with Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. It also borders Nevada to the northwest and California to the west, and shares an international border with the Mexican states of Sonora and Baja California to the south and southwest.
